Today, many mobile apps offer programmes to strengthen your pelvic floor at home. They guide you through sets of contractions, sometimes accompanied by regular reminders, posture tips or explanatory audio. Easy to access and often free or low-cost, these apps appeal thanks to their ease of use and flexibility.
Among them, the Emy Trainer pelvic floor exercise app can be used on its own, with no accessory needed. It already lets you follow guided exercises, validated by healthcare professionals, and structured into a motivating programme. It’s a relevant option for starting pelvic floor training gently.
However, effectiveness remains limited without body feedback: without a sensor, it’s hard to know whether you’re contracting correctly, whether the effort is sufficient, or whether you’re truly making progress. That’s where the connected Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer, thanks in particular to its biofeedback technology, makes all the difference. It measures the quality of your pelvic floor contraction in real time, sends immediate visual feedback in the app, and records your progress session after session.
The ideal choice? Combine the two. The app alone helps you build a routine, but the trainer offers greater precision and superior effectiveness, especially for postpartum pelvic floor recovery, urinary issues or preventing muscle laxity.
So, which method should you choose to get concrete, long-lasting results? Here’s a clear, objective comparison.
